Even folks who rarely swing through a fast-food drive-thru may recall those McDonald’s snack wraps of yesteryear—steamed tortillas wrapped around a crispy or grilled piece of chicken with lettuce, shredded cheese and sauce. Though those classic menu items were discontinued back in 2016, there’s good news on the horizon for snack-wrap mourners: Burger King is releasing their own version.
On August 14, Burger King will launch three new Royal Crispy Chicken Wraps, each of which includes a piece of crispy white-meat chicken, tomato and lettuce in a soft flour tortilla. Customers can choose from the classic wrap, the spicy or the honey mustard.BK’s chief marketing officer sayseach wrap is like a “snack-sized” version of the popular Royal Crispy Chicken sandwich, which the restaurant launched last year.

The big difference between a BK wrap and a McDonald’s wrap is the lack of cheese and the inclusion of tomato in the Burger King version. But as long as you aren’t a snack-wrap purist, we have a feeling you’ll be able to get past the change. And the best thing about the Burger King item might just be the price point. Each of the wraps will sell for just $2.99, which is a pretty solid deal—especially when you consider that these snack wraps have enough protein to keep you full till your next meal.
Here’s how the nutritional value breaks down for each of BK’s new royally tasty wraps:
Classic Royal Crispy Wrap
Spicy Royal Crispy Wrap
Honey Mustard Royal Crispy Wrap
Though we love the protein content of these wraps, you may want to be wary of the amount of sodium in each serving. TheAmerican Heart Associationrecommends consuming no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day, but an ideal limit would be no more than 1,500 milligrams per day for most adults. While sodium is an essential mineral, eating too much of itcould raise your blood pressure and even affect your kidney health. Eating a healthy amount of sodium each day can even help improve your overall quality of life, though that doesn’t mean you have to avoid these snack wraps entirely. Just opt for the lower-sodium options, like the classic wrap or honey mustard variety, and enjoy it on occasion.
